nd then there was the nettle. Turin is a slightly shiny 4ply yarn and has much to offer! Spun in the Czech Republic, this yarn is made from wool blended with Ramie and Silk to produce a delicate but strong yarn with a cheeky shine to it. This is one of our favourites to use in plant dyed multi-colours – it makes the colours come alive – ever changing with the light.

Due to its Ramie and silk content, it makes sturdy socks, but it can also be used for knitting flattering garments. Beautifully soft but can be a little stiff at the beginning, this yarn will win you over in no time.

Creating wearable Colours in a close relationship with nature - this Palette has been inspired by Irish Moors, Mountain flowers and Mossy Woodland Rivers.

Light and silky to the touch, Yeti is made from equal amounts of Yak and Mulberry Silk fibres – spun into a fine fingering weight yarn to create garments which are as light as a feather.

This yarn makes a wonderful all year garment – both, yak and silk, are temperature regulators.

Yak is one of the most expensive fibre in the world – with being warmer than sheep wool and still as soft as cashmere, it will keep you warm and cosy when needed.

It is hard wearing, durable, soft, warm and light weight.
